Obama's Weather Underground buddies, Bill Ayers & wife Bernardine Dohrn, & the anti-Trump movement
various sources | Jan 20, 2021

Posted on 01/20/2021 7:58:45 PM PST by ETL

If it were up to AOC and the other members of the communist wing of the DemonRat Party, they’d do what Obama’s pals in the Weather Underground wanted to do...

Undercover agent Larry Grathwohl discusses the 1960-70s Weather Underground’s post-revolution governing plans for the United States...

Larry Grathwohl:

I asked, ‘well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?’ and the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say ‘eliminate,’ I mean ‘kill.’ Twenty-five million people.

I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people. And they were dead serious.”

Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World - where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working ‘only to educate’ - both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers.”

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAD
FRIENDS WHO BOMBED THE PENTAGON

Below, from HumanEvents, April 29, 2008:

“By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung — indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): ‘We’re revolutionary Communists.’

He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.

Ideal Bombing Weather:

‘Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,’ he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). ‘The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the #######s were finally going to get what was coming to them.’

911 attack on the Pentagon

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAD
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

“March 6, 1970: “three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey — an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed.”

“The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer’s dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.

The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation.”

2007 Fort Dix attack plot

A group of six radical Islamist[1] men, allegedly plotting to stage an attack on the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, United States, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on May 7, 2007.

They were subsequently charged with planning an attack against U.S. soldiers. The alleged aim of the six men was said to be to “kill as many soldiers as possible”.[2] Their trial began on October 20, 2008. [3]

Opening arguments were presented on October 20, 2008.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the defendants were inspired by jihad saying “Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.”

Black Lives Matter co-founder describes herself as ‘trained Marxist’

by Yaron Steinbuch, New York Post, June 25, 2020

Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological foundation, according to a report.

Cullors, 36, was the protégé of Eric Mann, former agitator of the Weather Underground domestic terror organization, and spent years absorbing the Marxist-Leninist ideology that shaped her worldview, Breitbart News reported.


“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza.

We are trained Marxists. ...”

“Mann was elected to SDS [Students for a Democratic Society] national committee in 1968.[18] He told the Associated Press that he believed in “continuous resistance” against “institutions and policies of corporate capitalism” and that SDS chapters transition from campus protests groups to community groups that would guide students as a “de facto government.”[19]

When SDS splintered into three groups in 1969, Mann, then a leader in the SDS faction, the Weathermen (Weather Underground), adopted the Revolutionary Youth Movement’s belief that violent “direct action,” a euphemism for terrorism, should be used as a tactic to dismantle the group’s perceived power centers of “US imperialism”.[20]

Mann and 20 others were arrested in September 1969 for participation in a direct action against the Harvard Center for International Affairs, which the Revolutionary Youth Movement saw as a university-sponsored institution for counter-insurgency.[14] [21]

Mann and 24 other Weathermen were charged with conspiracy to commit murder after two bullets were fired through a window of the police headquarters on November 8, 1969.

Mann surrendered to the police on four counts stemming from the November 8 incident: conspiracy to commit murder, assault with intent to commit murder, promotion of anarchy, and threatening.[22]

Mann was sentenced to two years in prison of which he spent 18 months in Billerica, Deer Island, and Concord State Prison ...”

“[Patrisse] Cullors [CO-FOUNDER “BLACK LIVES MATTER”] weaves her intellectual influences into this narrative, from black feminist writers like Audre Lorde and bell hooks, to Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong.

Reading those social philosophers “provided a new understanding around what our economies could look like,” she says.

Of course, Ayers would be in on the JOEBAMA insurrection.
All of the deep state player and in cahoot with the CCP who perpetrated an ACT of WAR by way of an UNCONSTITUTIONAL ELECTION.
There’s going to be a war.
And the insurrectionists will lose.

Liberal wuss, Chrissy Wallace, angrily said on Wednesday, Jan 6, that he had been a reporter covering the Vietnam War protests and never once saw any of the "anti-war" protesters get near the US Capitol. (in reality, they weren't anti-war, they were just anti-US military. They were communists who were on the side of the North Vietnamese enemy)

In fact, the communist-revolutionary, domestic terrorist, Weather Underground openly bragged about bombing the US Capitol AND the Pentagon!

read Jared Israel on his site TENC (the emperor’s new clothes) on Obama and Ayers’ relationship and how the CIA used the Weathermen to derail the more careful, and serious groups in the anti-war Left by giving them free rein to go ahead and commit acts of violence, so that the narrative could be pushed that THIS is why the anti-war movement as a whole had to go.They didn’t want a serious and legitimate Left to form and get anywhere near taking a position, or gaining a foothold in America’s political mainstream: They wanted the terrorism of the Weathermen to be taken as what the Left had already become. Anyone ever wonder about the cognitive dissonance inherent in known, proud terrorists like Ayers and Dohrn reappearing years later, unpunished and being given cushy positions in Academia? Well, they were protected by the highest authority, the CIA. Nothing could ever happen to them.

My grown and, like her old man, conservative daughter stopped by today, January 20, 2021.

As we sought to comfort one another, she mentioned that she stopped en-route for gas and related this small, but highly revealing, human vignette

Another patron, a man of Indian heritage, studied the conservative, patriotic messages that emblazon the back of her car. As he read each one, he slowly nodded his head and grimaced slightly.

Kim noted his reaction and asked him what he thought. He paused...then remarked that he and his family came here from India in 2018 to escape the frequent turmoil and economic distress there.

He then asked Kim:“WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN HERE NOW?”

Like the rest of us, she had no answer.

My answer to that question is “WE HAVE NOWHERE TO HIDE” NOW.

When Obama was an Illinois Senator he and Bill (step on the American flag) Ayers had gained total control of the distribution of funds from the Annenberg foundation which they passed its millions on to lefty fronts offering courses to Illinois and Chicago schools pushing the what soon would be the BLM agenda. Author and investigative reporter Stanley Kurtz should be asked about this when interviewed about socialist plans for the suburbs. For at that time when Obama was doing this he tried to expose those radical left study programs over a program held by the late Milt Rosenberg on WGN radio’s “Extension 720” show but was threatened by protesters who prevented a cohearent presentation

RealClearPolitics - October 8, 2008

The records of the administration of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), released last week [Oct 2008] by the University of Illinois, show that the Ayers-Obama connection was, in fact, an intimate collaboration and that it led to the only executive or administrative experience in Obama’s life.

After Walter Annenberg’s foundation offered several hundred million dollars to American public schools in the mid-’90s, William Ayers applied for $50 million for Chicago. The purpose of his application was to secure funds to “raise political consciousness” in Chicago’s public schools.

After he won the grant, Ayers’s group chose Barack Obama to distribute the money.

Between 1995 and 1999, Obama distributed the $50 million and raised another $60 million from other civic groups to augment it. In doing so, he was following Ayers’s admonition to grant the funds to “external” organizations, like American Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) to pair with schools and conduct programs to radicalize the students and politicize them.

Reading, math and science achievement tests counted for little in the CAC [Chicago Annenberg Challenge] grants, but the school’s success in preaching a radical political agenda determined how much money they got.

Barack Obama should have run screaming at the sight of William Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dohrn.

Ayers has admitted bombing the U.S. Capitol building and the Pentagon, and his wife was sent to prison for failing to cooperate in solving the robbery of a Brink’s armored car in which two police officers were killed. Far from remorse, Ayers told The New York Times in September 2001 that he “wished he could have done more.”

Ayers only avoided conviction when the evidence against him turned out to be contained in illegally obtained wiretaps by the FBI. He was, in fact, guilty as sin.

That Obama should ally himself with Ayers is almost beyond understanding. The former terrorist had not repented of his views and the education grants he got were expressly designed to further them. ....”

From Investor’s Business Daily (IBD), August 27, 2008:

“[Obama pal and associate, Bill] Ayers, now a tenured distinguished professor of education at UIC, works to educate teachers in socialist revolutionary ideology, urging that it be passed on to impressionable students.

One of Ayer’s descriptions for a course called ‘Improving Learning Environments’ says prospective K-12 teachers need to ‘be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and ... be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, teaching for social justice and liberation.

The Annenberg papers are quite extensive — 132 boxes containing 947 file folders with 70 linear feet of material. They undoubtedly contain more surprises regarding Obama’s relationship with Ayers, one of many relationships Obama has sought to hide.’...”

Boudin was born in New York City to Jewish parents.[4] His parents, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were Weather Underground members.[5]

When Boudin was 14 months old, his parents were arrested for murder in their role as getaway car drivers in the Brink’s robbery of 1981 in Rockland County, New York.[4][6]

His mother was sentenced to 20 years to life[7] and his father to 75 years to life for the felony murders of two police officers and a security guard.[8] After his parents were incarcerated, Boudin was raised in Chicago by adoptive parents Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, like his parents, had been members of the Weather Underground.

ETL, thank you for keeping this alive! We must never forget who is running the country right now. I used to sweat bullets when Clinton and Obama were running for office. I got the FBI file on John Kerry that showed he was there and voted for 5 US Senators to be assassinated when he was in the VVAW. They sold dope to buy guns and ammo to start a revolution and he was almost made POTUS. When questioned, he said he had resigned by the time they voted for the killings, but the FBI file showed he was there.

“I asked, ‘well what is going to happen to those people we can’t reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?’ and the reply was that they’d have to be eliminated.

And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say ‘eliminate,’ I mean ‘kill.’ Twenty-five million people.

Therefore, killing Bill Ayers would not be murder. It would be preemptive self-defense.

#10. Re Chris Wallace not seeing any anti-war protestors” “get near the US capitol”. Well Chrissy missed something that was on the front pages of the Wash. Post and possibly the old Wash. Evening Star/Times when members of the Maoist faction of Vietnam Veterans Against the War in Vietnam (VVAW-Maoist) made up of newer Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) who was in the process of taking over the VVAW or from their rival old maoist Progressive Labor Party , stoned DC motorcycle police on the street right next to the Capitol’s West Side.

They also hit Police Chief Jerry Wilson in the head with pre-planted rocks and cinder blocks which they shattered into fist-size projectiles.

I WAS THERE. Got grazed by a grapefruit sized rock and went after the three psychos who threw it. They were the ones who hit Chief Wilson (who ignored my warning that he was walking into an ambush. Arrogant bastard he was). A photo of blood running down his face was in the Wash. Post of that day, probably May 2, 1971 edition.

I still have some photos from that incident and they show the West lawn/traffic circle where this happened, right off of Constitution Avenue NW.

For old timers, there was a white kiosk of some type in that traffic circle. The rock that hit me came off of a bad throw that hit that building and ricohetted off.

Chris Wallace - a legend in his own mind but in reality, just a lightweight pencil pusher. Guess I didn’t see him in Nam because he was too young. Oh well, at least his father had some journalistic integrity and talent.
